i think people want a party that is a little less aggressive on foreign policy, still believes in the strong national defense but less aggressive. they want the young people want politicians who don't want to put them in jail for 20 years for a nonviolent drug possession charge. so they want a little bit different face. i think people want a little different face on immigration frankly. they don't want somebody who wants to round people up and put them in camps and send them back to mexico. they don't gave them welfare either. i don't. >> chris: senator paul, you sound like you are running. >> we won't make a decision until 2014. i do want the party to become a national party again and not lose sight of how we grow as a party. we will continue in that vein for a couple of years and then decide. >> chris: thanks for coming in. always good to talk with you. >> thank you. >> chris: we wanted to speak with a white house official today about the president's agenda for the second term. but while new chief of staff dennis mcdonough sat down with the other three sunday shows the white house t

this sounds a little confusing, but imagine this, the foreign policy of libertarian minded conservative republicans like rand paul has more in common with chuck hagel than it does with john mccain. they are opposed to intervention. they're in favor of cutting defense budgets as part of an overrecall reduction in government spending. so libertarians like the idea of chuck hagel, who wants to be part of cuts and who wants to be less interventionist. remember, libertarians want to bring the troops home just as much as many liberals used to when george w. bush was president. so it's complicated for rand paul. he says he's fighting hagel on these principle grounds as it relates to benghazi, as it relates to the disclosure of documents and other things. but if libertarians had their way, they would prefer him to the guy who was just in there, leon panetta. >> rand paul is an intriguing character, if for no other reason than he always maintainses a very, very calm demeanor, but fires some heavy broadsides at the same time, one of which he fired at secretary of state hillary clinton during the
